friend because he is not only a
warm personal friend of the writer,
but tried, staunch, and substan-
tial friend of the Woman's Christ

So quiet and unobtrusive have
bsen his oenefactions, that but few
have known to whom we were
indebted for aid in time of need.
While his life hangs in the bal
ance, our heart goes out in earn
est prayer that God will spare to
us so true a friend, and that the
Everlasting Arms" may be under
meath the faithful White Ribbon
er who has walked with him
ough many years, and who now
watches anxiously at his bedside.

"The Duties of Women" in their
varied relations, as set forth by
Frances Power Cobb in a book
bearing that title, will be read with
interest by every earnest, thought
full woman, and should be read by
every one that is careless and in
different to her responsibilities as
daughter, wife and mother. 1t
treats in a masterful manner of her
obligations as an inmate of the
home, as a member of society, and
as citizen of the commonwealth.
A Union could not do better than
to invest Is cents in this matchless
setting forth of womanly RESPONSE
bilities, and make it the beginning
Of course of public reading in the
community.
Its subjects are conveniently d.
vided into chapters, which are ad-
mirably adapted to this purpose.

ture in our modern Athens, and re-
port progress.

Said a friend who wears the
white ribbon, 81 never took so
much interest in politics in my
life as I do this winter" She
voiced the womanhood of our ma
ton.
Two years ago Mr.. Price, "the
gentleman from mineral" asserted
in our legislative halls that the
women of West Virginia didn't
know what they wanted, and the
petitions signed by them were
without significance on that &C.
count.
We venture the assertion he did
not reiterate that statement when
opposing the Prohibitory Amend
ment upon the floor of the Senate
during the present session of that
body.
Our women are coming to under
stand that they are affected both
directly and indirectly by govern
mental policies in both State and
nation. That while they have no
voice in making law, the good or
evil consequences of legislation fall
heaviest upon them.
The consciousness is slowly but
surely dawning upon them that
they have an influence in these
matters tor which they are respon-
sible, and the future will witness
an activity in the lending of these
influences in behalf Of righteous
legislation of which the present is
only faint precursor.

Don't fail to read of the heroism
of the Charleston women, who chose
to clean the street crossings rather
than license the saloons--even if
the work was done in their dreams
This is the invincible spirit of
the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union all over the land. They
began by kneeling in mud and
praying the saloons to quit, and it
is certain they are willing to go
on shoveling, fguratively, and lit
orally if need be, In order to rid
our towns of harmless mud and wa
ter, as we'll as the filth and mire of
the saloons creating. We serve
notice upon the City Fathers of
our Capitol, that if "the worst
comes to the worst" and they are
compelled to order out the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance I'm
ion or license the saloons, in order
to make it's thoroughfares naviga-
BILE, there will be such sallying
forth of this White Ribbon "broom
Brigade" such q scraping, shovel
ing and cleaning, even to the Cap
itol door, as Charleston has never
witnessed before. And we forewarn
them the spirit is infectious.

Spirit OF the w. CT. u.
Cleaning Streets in their Dreams to
Keep Out the Saloons.

The spirit of the Prohibition
fight at the Capital, both in the
State House and in the city of
Charleston, is so fervent and all
pervading that the good women
are dreaming Prohibition. An in
cident came to us last evening that
shows the magnificent morale of
the invincible army of the W. G..
T. U.
AS we walked or rather waded
through the mud from the Prohibi-
ton mass meeting at Dickinson
Chapel, a prominent lady of the
Charleston Union, a member well
known and beloved for her works
sake, told me her dream of the
night before.
She said, in her dreams, Mr.. HUI
ling, the Mayor of the city, came
to the meeting of the W. C. T. U.
and said:
"Now ladies, you have closed up
the saloons and cut off our revenue
from licenses, and you see the city
is engulfed in mud and we have no
money to clean the street crossings,
and I come to notify you that the
w. G. T. U. will have to clean the
streets or the city will have to
grant licenses tor the needed rev.
enue."
There was No hesitation, discus
sion or division on the issue. The
w. G. r. U. resolved at once to
throw themselves into the muddy
breach with spade and
shovel and broom. One of the
muddiest sections of the
city was assigned to Miss, as
her equitable portion of the slushy
domain. Gettinga spade she at
once set about her work, and bust
ly piled her utmost of muscle and
strength to her heavy task. At
length in her utter exhaustion
from over exertion, she suddenly
awoke. Her short and heavy
breathing also awoke her sister,
who being alarmed, anxiously ia
quired:
"Why, sister, what's the
matter? You act as if you were
tired nearly to death? ?"
"Well," said she, now fully
aroused from her dream, II should
think I am tired land so would you
be after shoveling mud from the
streets for whole half day"
Talk shout resisting che W. G.
T. U. army! Why, such mettle
and spirit as this is absolutely up-
conquerable and invincible.
O, for hypodermic injection
of at least an infnitessimal modi-
cum OF such spirit into some of
our Legislators that we could
name.
And just so it is with thou
sands of brave women all over the
land. Rather than have saloons
they would gladly dig, wash, shov-
ell mud, or do any other drudgery
for revenue. The purity, sanctity
and safety of their homes are worth
more to them than all else this
side of Heaven. God bless the
brave w. c. T. U! And shame on
the cowardly politicians who hest
tate to protect the Home from the
infamous piracies and ravages of
the Saloon!
